One ounce Will SOW 125 feet of drill, two pounds per acre in drills, three pounds broadcast. Please order by name and number. 
CULTURE —Turnips and Rutabagas do best in highly enriched, light 
loam soil. In rich soil and cool weather, they grow rapidly, without 
becoming bitter in flavor. Sow in April, in drills 12 to 15 inches 
apart, and thin out to stand 8 inches apart in the row. Rutabagas keep 
much longer than Turnips, otherwise there is but little difference in 
flavor.
